The look of this probards forum

[Lemernis]

I'm going to design some more skins, as I'm not sure how well the black background and white text is working out here. I think it works well on the website, but here perhaps not so much.

I wish I had tried out Vanilla now instead. The BG:EE forums look so gorgeous... It isn't too late for me to recreate the basic structure of these boards on Vanilla, since there isn't really any activity here yet.

I may have a go at Vanilla yet 'cause I'm really not that pleased with the styling of the forums here--although that may just be a matter of improving them artistically.

Oh, also, I can make the ads go away but it costs a bit. If I do commit to sticking with proboards (versus Vanilla) I'll probably go ahead and pop to make them ads free.

Well, it's not very original, but for now I have set the default skin to the new "BG:EE Style" skin I just designed today. The color scheme may look a bit familiar. But I hardly think anyone will mistake this humble abode for the BG:EE forums!

Anyway, I think this skin is definitely easier to read than the starker black-white of the "Classic Black" skin.

Btw, you can choose skins under your member Profile. Just scroll down to the Select Skin dropdown button and select.

I'll create a few more. Maybe try something that picks up on that luscious painting of BG city overlooking the Wide used in the banner. But anyway, I'll try to make at least 4 or 5 skins to choose from.
